Max - you're incredible! You went through so much work, even to the point of reforming (damaging) your air box, just to help fellow owners! WOW! I wish your idea had worked.
By the way, roughly 1,500 miles since the IACV replacement and it is still running better than new, so I believe it is safe to say that the IACV was the root cause of my idle issues.
I spent the $ I saved by doing my own IACV replacement on a new set of 2017 Honda CB1100 forks. I was going to buy shocks, but the fork replacement really intrigued me when I read about other members doing the swap. In summary (I'll report more in the thread about forks) I am impressed with the ride improvement, and this is after only a short (6 mile) test ride.
